ACCORDING to the Governor of Vir+
ginia, the farmers of that state are in a
bad way. They have less money, he
says, than at any time since the surren-

is rather striking testimony against the
Democratic state and national Admins
trations. No wonder there are signs of
a political upheaval in the Old Dominion.

MAGAZINE RIFLES.

The Improvement Of small arms is the chief
question now discussed by military experts in
Europe The magazine rifle has already been
introduced in the armies of three Of the great
States. The movement had its origin in Ger
many where the Mauscr rife was experimental
with as early as 1871. This weapon can be
used as a singe-oadcr or as a magazine with
ten cartridges. The Mauscr repeater is the
latest Improvement upon the original device.
Five corps Of the German army have already
been armed with these weapons, and 1T is ex-
pccted that in few months every soldier will
he familiar with the use OF the Aauser. Aus
tria.Hungary has discarded the Wcrndl rifle
and is rapidly introducing the Mannlicher mag
azne and an improved cartridge This differs
from the Mauscr in the position of the mag.
aznc which is under the brcech and not under
tho barrel. In Italy another form OF magazine
known as the Vital has been adopted as a tenn
poraay cxpcdlcnt and the Vetterli rifles now in
use are gradually Icing altered. the improve
ment being one Of low cost. As il carries only
four cartridges, another change in small arms
is inevitable. France and Russia are both be-
hind their ncighbors in improvement Of soldiers
weapons. The navy OF each country is armed
with repeaters similar 10 Mauser rifles, but the
armies are without magazine arms. The French
staff has been experimenting with an eight
cartridge magazine invented by Colonel Lobell
and it viii probably lie introduced this year
In Russia no pattern has been officially adopted.
although many experiments have been made.
The British army instead OF being armed with
the Enfield Martini, which was selected last
summer. is to have a magazine rife Of an i'm
proved design from which great things arc
expected. This announcement was made q
fortnight ago by Captain James. Of the Royal
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1887-03-21
urw-yoRK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY, MARCH q. 1857

Engineers in an interesting address before the
ROYAL United Service Institution.
The account given by this military expert oil
various forms of magazine rifles represents
Germany as having selected in the Mauscr an
inferior pattern. since it weighs when loaded
eleven pounds and is extremely awkward and
ill-balanccd and difficult 10 load. The maya
zine can have one Of four positions in the
butt, under the barrel over the barrel. and I'M
der the brcech. The second position is the one
generally favored on account Of convenience
In storing cartridges, but the fourth one Cap
tain James considers the best, although not
more than fyc cartridges can be easily carried.
The German and Italian magazine rifles belong
to the second class and the Austrian weapon TO
the fourth The new English weapon, which
this expert predicted would lie as much in adj
vance Of the Martini-lIenry as that had been
an Improvement upon the Brown Bcss, probably
has the magazine under the brccch, with some
device like drum for taking as many cart
ridges as the Mauser.
This subject is one which should receive at
tcntion from American military experts. Inc
fact that the United States Army is in rank
and file small one increases the importance
of having II armed with The best modern
weapons. The great advantage Of the maya
zine consists in the power which it confers
upon tho soldier Of quintupling his rate OF
firing. In the American army, whcrc small dc.
tachmcnts Of soldiers are sometimes cxposcd
to overwhelming numbers, this would he great
gain. General Clusters men wonld not nave
